Our Organization
Donations to Work for Art’s Community Fund and Arts Education Fund support 100+ vital arts and culture organizations every year—encompassing dance, visual arts, music, literary arts, media arts, theater, cultural arts, and arts education. Work for Art raises these funds primarily through employee charitable campaigns at workplaces in Oregon and SW Washington. A rigorous grant process directs funds to where they will be most useful and assures that every dollar donated makes a valuable impact on the community as a whole. All nonprofit arts organizations based in Clackamas, Multnomah, or Washington County are eligible to apply for these grants.
